The main benefit is that MAN have achieved Euro IV emissions standards without the need for an exhaust cleaning agent (ad-blue) and the associated depot infrastructure. The demonstrator has appeared on various routes including trunk route 102 from Newbury to Reading. Thanks to Brian Coney for this photo taken yesterday. < Last Month | News Archive | Next Month > |
